摘要

The invention relates to a method for handling bags (10) combined into bundles (13), in particular wicketed bags, and for delivering the bags (10) to a packaging machine (11). Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding device. The invention is characterised by the following features: the bags (10) are supplied in a plurality of bundles (13) in a magazine (14) that is arranged upstream of the packaging machine (11); the bundles (13) are each arranged on bag carriers (15) in such a way that the bag carriers (15) extend through suspension holes (12) in the bags (10); the bag carriers (15) having the bags (10) located thereon are delivered from the magazine (14) to the packaging machine (11); the bundles (13) are transferred from the bag carriers (15) directly to correspondingly arranged receiving pins (28) of a cyclically driven conveyor apparatus (29) of the packaging machine (11) and are subsequently filled in the packaging machine (11).
